Uh huh. Did you ever stop to think why they might do that?
Imagine Sailor X with mental disorder Y runs out of pills 2 months into a 100 day mission. At best he becomes a useless body that is relegated to cleaning bilges and his rack because he can't reliably function like a normal human being on watch. At worst he slips into psychotic episodes that puts the well-being of his shipmates at risk.
There are no doctors on submarines U/W. Yea, everyone calls the corpsman 'doc,' but he's basically an experienced EMT/nurse.
Are you really that short-sighted that you can't see the obvious reasons that the military doesn't allow people with certain mental health conditions to serve in some billets?
